T-Mobile Drops GoSmart Pricing, Ups Data Allotments

T-Mobile recently lowered the monthly prices of its prepaid GoSmart service. There are now three different GoSmart plans. The first offers unlimited voice and text for $25 per month. The second offers unlimited voice and text, and up to 500MB of 3G data for $35 per month. The third offers unlimited voice and text, and up to 3GB of 3G data for $40 per month. Users who exceed their monthly data allotment will be throttled for the remainder of the billing period. According to T-Mobile, GoSmart customers may supply their own device. However, 4G-equipped phones will only be able to browse GoSmart at 3G data speeds. GoSmart is T-Mobile's own prepaid brand. It is separate from MetroPCS, which T-Mobile also owns.
